Vietnamese carrier Sun PhuQuoc Airways has signed an agreement with CFM International for four LEAP-1A spare engines, with options for a further four, to support its expanding Airbus A320neo family fleet.

As announced by CFM on LinkedIn, the agreement will support the airline’s fleet growth and operational requirements as it continues to develop its domestic and international network.

Developed by Sun Group, Sun PhuQuoc Airways positions itself as Vietnam’s first ‘Resort in the Sky’ airline, connecting the island of Phu Quoc with destinations across Vietnam and beyond.

The carrier, which recently celebrated its first anniversary, currently operates 20 Airbus A320 family aircraft powered by CFM56 and LEAP-1A engines.

CFM said its LEAP engines will support the airline’s expansion by delivering improved fuel efficiency, high asset utilisation and operational reliability.
